This afternoon we are talking gift lists. There are so many different sorts of gift lists around these days! Gone are the days when you were restricted to the traditional department store gift list.

Gift buying with Oxfam Unwrapped

Oxfam’s Wedding Gift List service offers you the chance to make a difference to communities all over the world. Instead of registering for gifts that you already have or don’t need, you could sign up with Oxfam Unwrapped and let your family and friends donate their money to a worthwhile cause.

An array of unique and quirky gift ideas

From chickens, to life-saving soap, to a pile of poo, there are a whole plethora of unique and meaningful products available for you to choose from, each of which can help Oxfam on its mission to beat poverty.

My personal favourite gift idea has to be Oxfam’s Wedding Goat couple. This gift can provide families living in poverty with a pair of locally sourced and vaccinated goats, helping to increase their food security and financial independence. The animals are healthy and ready to provide fresh milk to drink or sell and the manure they produce can be used to help with crops too. Due to the fact that they are offered as a pair, they can be bred so families can pass them on to neighbours or take them to market to raise money for other essentials. Oxfam also offers business training with every goat couple, meaning that people can learn about, understand and make the most out of these extremely useful and life-sustaining resources.

Regardless of which presents you include, your gift list is guaranteed to add an extra feel good factor for not just you to enjoy, but your friends and family too. Instead of receiving gifts you don’t want, you can help Oxfam make a difference to those who need it most.
